How to: Jailbreak/Unlock iPhone 3.0 - Windows PC redsn0w Edition

Disclaimer - Neither TiPb nor I take any responsibility for any problems/issues/bricking/etc. that may occur while using this software to modify your iPhone. Please be aware of what you are doing. This will NOT work with iPhone 3GS.

There has been a lot of buzz going on in the forums regarding jailbreaking the iPhone 3.0 software lately, and a lot of questions to go along with it!. Today we’re going to take a deeper look at the exact steps you have to take to get your iPhone 3G with the 3.0 software, jailbroken on your Windows PC machine. We used Windows XP in this example, but Windows Vista shoul

Let’s get started, after the jump!

Get the tools

First and foremost make sure your iPhone is updated to the 3.0 firmware. If you’re not yet running 3.0, update via iTunes.

All good? Okay, next make sure your iPhone is not connected to your PC. Next you will need to download the following files:

Jailbreak Process

Now double click on the redsn0w file you just download to open the redsn0w application. You will then be prompted to select the 3.0 IPSW file you downloaded. Do as instructed now. Once it is successfully identified press next to continue.

Now you will have to select whether you'd like Cydia, Icy, or both installed on your phone. You must install at least one of them. Make sure your choices are checked and press next.

Next you will be connecting your iPhone 3G to your PC. Once your device is connected, hold the power button until the "Slide to Power Off" appears - then slide to power it off. Press next.

Redsn0w will not put your iPhone 3G into DFU mode. Be sure to follow the onscreen instructions exactly. Start by holding down the power button for 3 seconds.

Hold down both both the power button as well as the home button for 10 seconds.

Finally release the power button while continuing to hold the home button down until redsn0w detects your iPhone 3G.

The device will now reboot once it is detected by redsn0w.

Redsn0w will now begin the process of uploading the new ramdisk.
Once this is complete you will be notified that the jailbreak process is complete. Click the Finish button.

Even though redsn0w completed it's process your iPhone will still be finishing up. This can take up to 5 minutes. Be patient, when it's done you will have a jailbroken iPhone 3G with Cydia/Icy on the SpringBoard.

Unlocking Process

Now if you are looking to unlock your iPhone follow these steps below.

If you are unlocking for T-Mobile USA be sure to disable 3G.

Run Cydia or Icy

Add the repo repo666.ultrasn0w.com to Cydia or Icy. That last “o” is actually the number zero “0”.

thanx ,,,, i have jailbroken iphone .. only problem is that i m not able to add repo repo666 to cydia .. no add tags are there in cydia .. wht to do now ..
further i m nt able to find ultrasn0w in cydia as well ..
please help

I just bought an Iphone 3g off of ebay and did the steps with redsnow to unlock it. It keeps telling me to put a simcard in without a pin code. I am in Germany and all the sims are locked here. how would I go about getting past that to get to my springboard so I can finish the steps to unlock my phone with Cydia?

I have an old iPhone 3G i want to give to a friend. I haven’t updated it in forever (3.1.3, baseband 05.12.01). While I have jb’d it before, I’ve never unlocked it. She needs it unlocked. So should I just jb it and unlock it with redsn0w? What about any of the other jb/unlock programs? I shouldn’t update the firmware, correct?

So I completed all the steps and now I can't use my original sim card or my sim for russia, it keeps saying searching. Can anyone help me???? I tried restarting it, taking the sim card in/out, tried to restore settings in itunes, nothing is working! help

My iphone 3g is unlocked and jailbroken for tmobile, but heres the problem. I downloaded a tether app and it reset back to at&t settings. Now the phone wont read my tmobile sim. Do I need to re-unlock my phone? Can I do this WITHOUT itunes?

i have done the jailbreak it gets freezd on reboting, cannot unlock? i dont have an at&t sim do i need one? i keep getting the screen for emergency calls only, no apps no cyndia nothing but the slider for emergency calls . can you help me plz,

I followed the steps to use redsnow on my 3g 3.0 iphone. It identified the firmware and so I went on to the next step which was to hook up the phone to the computer. I followed the steps to enter DFU mode. But instead of redsn0w detecting my device windows came up with the window that says it has detected a new device. Windows asks if i will let it search for the drivers for it. Then redsn0w says it didn't detect the device. Any help here?

Microsoft isn't any stranger to having companions galore within the cellphone business, however its lineup of manufacturers for the upcoming, surprisingly promising Home windows Cellphone 7 launch is not any less impressive. After plenty of rumoring, Microsoft has confirmed that Dell and HTC will probably be making Windows Cellphone 7 phones, in addition to ASUS, LG, and Samsung who had already been confirmed. All of those companies ought to have their stamp on hardware by the tip of the yr, with the launch of the OS nonetheless vaguely slated for the "holidays" We have little doubt that all five producers can construct some compelling, attractive hardware, but we're particularly enthused to see Dell really moving into the game after the impressive Streak and that drool worthy leak a little while back. learn more at http://www.wp7forum.com fans group.

I did all the steps on the jailbreaking no cydia. but this is for 3.0 and i have 3.1.2 in my phone. I see alot of questions but no answers. I got all the way to the downloading jailbreak data on the phone. It rebooted but no cydia anywhere. What am I doing wrong? I downloaded the 3.0 software like this asks for but it doesn't seem to be doing anything.

I updated my phone on itunes and it locked it, it was working great until i updated it on itunes and then it couldnt read the sim card anymore, so now i have been trying to jailbreak it and following all the instructions ur giving but it still cant work, after it finishes downloading jailbreaking data it doesnt show cydia icon on home screen, been doing it about 5 times now and it has refused to download cydia, i really need your help, what am i doing wrong?

Hello, i jailbroke my iPhone with redsnow and wifi stoped working. It just simply shows in settings : no wifi. WTF? So I reset network setting, all settings and finaly I tried to restore whole iPhone as a new phone and the problem still persists. Any idea how to fix ???
Thanks in advance.Turpanos@gmail.com

Tristan: - Version 3.1.3 is not yet an easy support. I have read some stuff about ways to get around it - but it doesn't look promising for you right now. Keep searching, i'm sure the jailbreak for 3.1.3 will be out any day now, these guys are always working it. be sure to include your version in your search or you'll wind up with stuff that's not for you.

this doesnt work i successfully did everything and it said it finished then i let it finish doing what it was doing then it restarted and its the exact same as it was before i tried to jail break it. i have a brand new 8gb iphone with fido. not even a week old. i have 3.1.3 on it any ideas what im doing wrong?

Hi, My son age 18 took my iphone to work and had a friend jailbraek it!! I am impressed with what Jailbreaking can do ( I saw two movies and have a great desktp now) but I have no service now and wonder if I sync it with itunes will it loose the jailbreak? I have no clue and my son had a coworker do it as we are both clueless. My husband is upset that my phone doesnt work and is giving my son a hard time each day! please help!

Ok I am Having a huge Problem.
I know how to unlock and Jailbreak my iphone 3g running 3.1.2 (7d11)
I have Jailbroken it with Black Ra1n, I did not unlock it with the Ra1n option.
Now the problem I did all the Jailbreaking in Mexico (Where I live) and Now am in Vancouver Canada.
I have bought a new Sim Card but it wont read untill it is unlocked.
The problem is that I can not get Any Internet access on it at all. No 3g (No Carrier) and NO WIFI?????? I cannot connect to wifi at all to install the Ra1n Package.
??????????
It does not even show any avaliable when there is one.
Catch 22, No Carrier to get internet and A new sim Card that I need Internet To unlock and Use the Phone, ARGGGGG!!!
Please anyone with any idea please let me know.

I ran this process 3 times as the end result was not as documented. All step ran ok as per the process yet neither icy or cyda are intstalled and whether my phone jail break has been successful is still not obvious.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for these kinds of website and for the people who know how to use technology and are willing to share it and offer advice. I managed to Jailbreak my old 2G phone, which i had ungraded to the new 3.1.2 software, during this process i had re-locked my unlocked iphone.
I jailbroke it with Cydia, then unlocked my iphone by following the addition of the http://.. address given at the top of this page. And then the applications i had downloaded onto my iphone, facebook etc. now work!
Thank you, thank you! I just hope they stay on and i have no more problems!

well i have done the jailbreak no prob, but cannot unlock? i dont have an at&t sim do i need one? i keep getting the screen for emergency calls only, no apps no cyndia nothing but the slider for emergency calls
. why is this?

This is funny, I was just thinking about this yesterday. For some weirdmotive I stumbled to this article lol. I'll be coming back here. This really is a good discovery....rare for me to stumble on new websites :)

Awesome, I finally discovered a blog about this! I was daydreaming about it yesterday (well technically night time dreaming because it was night time lol) and now I discover this post. Coincidence alright. Might be checking back again!

Finally, a good post about this subject! I can not believe I had to go thru like 20 blogs just to come across this excellent post. All their content together still can not equal the content of this article. I have learned a lot and will bookmark your web page. Maintain up the good job!

Just an important question:
I would like to jailbreak and unlock the iPhone, but I'm not sure, if I need the original SIM Card to do that. Is it required that the SIM card is plugged into the phone,or can anything be done without it ? Phone has been locked by an AT.. card,but I would like to jailbreak with an telefonica sim, is that possible ?

Followed the steps down to the letter, and it gets stuck on the "Waiting to reboot" screen. What do I do, and did I do something wrong? I know it wasn't activated before I started, but does that matter?

If you're one of the million people that have purchased an iPhone, you probably signed up with Apple's exclusive carrier in the U.S., AT&T, when you activated your phone. That means your iPhone identifies itself to AT&T's network using an AT&T SIM card, a smart card that's located in a small tray between your iPhone's sleep/wake button and its recessed headphone jack.
But what if you want to use T-Mobile or another network or maybe you’re planning a trip to Europe and rather than paying AT&T to use the networks of its European partners, you want to take advantage of the favorable rates and local phone numbers offered by replacing your AT&T SIM card with a pre-paid European card?
In the past months several groups have announced that they've found a way to "unlock" the iPhone, allowing it to use a SIM card from any provider. (Keep in mind that this is only half the story: the iPhone uses the GSM radio band for its communications, meaning that it'll only work with providers that use the GSM network. In the U.S., that means T-Mobile and AT&T.)
In August, a group of hackers demonstrated a method for unlocking SIM cards and sold its software to resellers, who in turn began selling it to the public for as much as $100 last week.
But another group has come up with a Better, Safer, and more Affordable way that lets you unlock your iPhone in about 15 minutes for only $9.95. It does work, because I've used this technique to unlock my own iphone. This program is available at Berry Smartphones and another great thing is it allows you to get tons of free apps.

Okay - install the software went through the REDSNOW process than phone install apps it needed too...Now it reboot into apple logo stays there for a while you see the loading icon than after it while it boots down and go back to the apple logo with the - loading icon...
Is this normal or should i be doing something else.

I love my Iphone 3g for Tmobile but I still am yet to get the wifi running at all. I have read and tried everything online and I still have no luck, I havnt tried downloading bossprefs yet like Ty said. But I will try that. If anyone else has any suggestions how to fix wifi after downloading blackrain please let me know???

I just jailbroke my iphone 3g. Firmware is 3.1.2 and baseband is 5.11.07. I tried to use blacksn0w to unlock but I keep getting no service. Sometimes the T-mobile carrier would show up at the top left, but there is no signal. If I try to make a call it goes back to saying no service.

I have a 3g iphone unlocked and jailbroken, I have absoulutely no wifi.I think after using blackrain. I have tried to reset the settings and even tried to download push fix and nothing seems to be working. Does anyone know how to fix wifi after an unlock??? Please help

hello,
I currently have iphone 3g and am running version 2.2 on it. I bought it in canada so it was originally locked to rogers but then I jailbroke it and unlocked it. However now I want to upgrade it to 3.0 or the latest but I am wondering if after I upgrade using itunes will I need to insert my original rogers sim? I study in europe so its working fine with my orange sim so I only want to upgrade and unlock it if it wont ask me for the original rogers sim because I dont have it on me right now. please let me know if upgrading needs to verify the sim or not. thanks!

Someone please help me as i am close to throwing my phone against the wall
Cracked my i phone and my 1st download (ringtone)worked, after i download a theme it asked to be rebooted then bombed out saying connect to itunes. then when i did it makes me reload my entire i phone and start from scratch.
PLEASE HELP

I'm having the same problam as Natalie... no Cydia to run...?? I have run redsn0w about a dozen times with cydia and or icy checked, but neither will install!
I don NOT have an option to "unlock" on the 2nd screen, either. Why is that?
Please help.
Thanks
Ken

I have done all these steps. Watched videos on how it should be done. I get to the part where my screen on my iPhone is downloading the jailbreaking. Then on the videos I saw a bunch of words should show up, then a picture to follow that. Mine just reboted and there was no Cydia icon/app. Please help.

Hi There
I'm new to the jaibreaking Iphone scene. I purchased a new iphone yesterday and not happy that it doesn't have bluetooth transfer and other cool 3rd party apps, etc. I read jailbreaking was the way to go. My Iphone is 3.1.2 and updated to newest firmaware on 05.07.11 baseband. I've downloaded RC3 blackra1n and followed instructions and all gone smoothly so far. When I click snow and install it, it still says wrong sim when I change carriers and itunes dont recognise the vodafone sim. Have i done somit wrong. Also Ibluetooth doesnt work. It says erro cant stack files, try rebooting. Thats fails also, any help would be appreciated. I've managed to install loads of other cool apps on cydia but not the main ones i mainly jailbreaked for.

Hi - Wondering if the original instuctions hold true today (1/6/2010) or any updates to instructions or software. Anyone recently unlocked their 3G with these instuctions? please leave response. Thanks

I forgot my phone unlocking code and i mistakenly locked it and iphone was disabled..I jailbreak it and unlock it...Now,i upgraded my iphone 3G 3.0 with itunes 9 and now it says,activate with original sim without pin...Please,what do i do?tell me...

so guys what i did wrong here ....
please help me

So I jailbroke and unlocked my phone. Then for some reason the sim card stopped recognizing on iTunes. The phone still worked so I left it alone. I need an update on the music, so I recently tried to re-jailbreak and unlock the iphone. Everything went smoothly, but the sim card is still unrecognizable. Ultrasn0w is installed I've checked Cydia. Please help, this year old music is killing me. Also it is a 3G and up-to-date.

I just would like to thank you very much, this worked to perfection for me. My first jailbreak with 3.0, windows 7 and itunes 9.0. My advice for any first timers read all the comments prior to attempting you can learn a lot.

Hello everyone please help me Im in the beginning of the process, on step 2 it says I must browse and find the "ipsw" file but I dont know which one is it please tell me because what I downloaded is a .zip file and I serieously dont know what to do PLEASE!!! tell me qhich one is the ipsw file or what should I do

Hi, I have an iphone 16gb 3G. It use to run off of yellowsnow perfectly until a couple months ago when I decided to update my phone determined to unlock it again. Firstly, I updated it (I had 2.1, and im not sure what it updated it to).. and after updating it I decided to restored it to its factory settings because I decided I wanted it like brand new again. Now the phone is locked obviously. Itunes recognizes it but says the sim card is not supported. So I tried to follow the same process as I did the first time I unlocked it using quickpwn. NOTHING works. Ive tried quickpwn, redsnow, blackrain, winpwn. Everything tells me that the ipsw’s im putting are either corrupt or not supported.. the issue is that im not sure which ipsw to use because I don’t remember what I updated to, and also im not sure if when I restored it back to factory settings, I need to use old ipsw files. So I downloaded every single ipsw for 3G iphones from this site: http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=750. None worked for me. Does anyone know what to do? Ive even tried using old versions of quickpwn and so on, again no luck

Hi! I just bought a jailbroken 3g, everything works ok but when i try to go to safari, its giving me a message " COULD NOT ACTIVATE CELLULAR DATA NETWORK, you are not subscribed to a cellular data service " My provider is tmobile and I do have the web plan with them.

I have a 3G iPhone; I’m trying to jailbreak/unlock it for T-mobile. I get to the "downloading jailbreak data" and the Jailbreak is “finished“; However, The phone restarts then it goes back to the "Emergency calls only". Any suggestions?

What generation of iPhone do you have? Try to use different version of Redsn0w. I try Redsn0w 0.8 You can download it from here http://iphone-unlocksoft.com and don't install Cydia & Icy, you shuld better choose one of them, to escape future boot problems

Thanks for your help in advance
Parag

will this work even if I had already updated my firmware to 3.1-? right now redsn0w says "Please wait while your device is being jailbroken. Waiting for reboot."
but it doesn't look like my phone or redsn0w are doing anything.

Alright... Here's my problem... I seem to have jbroken my iphone, but I'm not entirely sure... I bought the phone from my brother's friend and the only thing I can do is charge it. The only screens that even come up are the apple logo and then a screen with the itunes logo and an arrow pointing to it coming from an Ipod/Iphone charger usb plug... the ONLY other thing that I can bring up is the emergency calls screen... and the "shut down" and "slide for emergency calls" are the only things that seem to do anything.
If ANYONE could help, I'd REALLY appreciate itand it'd save me a lot of time and aggrevation... Thanks to anyone that can help.

Caleno,
Hi, I have been using my unlocked, jail broken IPhone 3G for about 3 months now. I have a T-mobile SIM card in it. However, the home button stops working from time to time. I’ve tried the system reset by pressing down the ON/OFF button and the home button at the same time but it works once in a while. Sometimes the home button works and sometimes it does not. I took the phone to apple retail store but they are not responsible when the Iphone has been modified. Has anyone had this problem yet? Did you find a solution for it? Thanks in advance.

I am facing the same problem as gesmi, I have jailbreak my iPhone 3G 16GB to 3.0 and everything is working (like youtube, stocks, weather) I even added the resource on cydia and it installed, however, I keep getting the No Service and I can't make or receive calls!!!!
Any idea guys?

OK this is a little list every1 should know; 1) if using vista 64-bit put it into safe mode hen run redsnow(restart your comp and press F8 until u can choose safe mode) 2) at this point 3.1 can not be unlocked 3)if u need to upgrade to 3.0 from a lower version hold shift and click restore in itunes, then select ur IPSW file. 4)if u cant get into DFU mode its probably because ur iphone is not connected properly. make sure it is before u turn ur iphone off and try not to tangle the cord 5)if redsnow freezes (which it wont in safemode) and ur iphone is stuck at a black screen then Shift+Restore it with itunes again

whether this has been answered or not. I jailbroke my iphone 3 months ago with the 3.0 redsnow jailbreak and it worked but it crashed and i re did the jailbreak 1 month ago. since then after the second jailbreak my iphone won't turn on, won't charge, won't connect to itunes or computer, won't go into DFU mode, and finally the warranty is expired. SO AM I SWREWED OR WHAT THE HELL CAN I DO TO FIX THE PROBLEM!!!

One question. The beginning of tuttorial states
First and foremost make sure your iPhone is updated to the 3.0 firmware. If you’re not yet running 3.0, update via iTunes.
I have a iPhone 3G still on 2.2.1. I want to skip this step right? Just when I hit restore/update and point to the ipsw file. I don't want to update now cause it will take me to 3.1.2 correct.

Hi there,
I really enjoyed being able to unlock my phone and get everything up and running.
Just one question though. My mate sent me a couple of games to try - they are in ipa format which means that ITunes then tries to install them. But this fails all the time.
Have I missed a trick in jailbreaking my phone?

Hi, just purchased an iphone from ebay on firmware 3.0 and is jailbroken which is also pre-installed with a few apps including the 'Tom Tom' application. When i sync this phone to my itunes will it erase the apps already stored on the phone and be replaced by any of my previously purchased apps? ideally i want to keep the apps already installed on the phone. so is there also a way to sync my back-up data to the phone without touching the apps at all? Thanks alot guys! Dan

I have the same problem of some other. At the end of the procedure I see the message "Downloading Jailbreak Data..." and it keeps forever... and redsn0w says "Done!"
Does someone solved this situation?

Okay, so I downgraded to 3.0 and got everything installed, jailbroken, and unlocked. Now, it says "Searching..." where it should say T-Mobile. The 3g setting is off, I've rebooted, turned it off and on, and uninstalled and installed ultrasnow again. What do I do? Please reply as soon as possible please.

I got everything to go smoothly. I downloaded everything, and it had the screen telling me it was being jailbroken. When it was finished, I looked for Cydia and it wasn't on there. Why is this so? I've done everything as follows.

hi
I've used redsn0w to jailbreak my iphone many times before, but this time it's just NOT working I tried everything but it keeps getting stuck on the "downloading jailbreaking data" stage. I've tried like 40 times... please any suggestions?

grrr.. i jailbreaked twice over these two days and my phone got bricked twice! im restoring it again now. is this version trustworthy? i couldnt download any cracked apps and i couldnt restart my iphone. help! i really want to jailbreak again..but if it bricks again im giving up.

ok...my iphone got bricked. i could not use it at all. nothing, just blank page. used a vid called how to fix frozen apple boot logo on youtube. it worked. now theres no information in my iphone. am going to resync all over again. but the more pressing issue, what is the correct repo address? today morning, repo666.ultrasn0w.com did not work. what to do i to make it work?

omg! i did exactly as the steps said..then i went up to cydia part. now im so angry. to unlock, i couldnt figure out what the correct repo was. when i was trying it, i typed as repo666ultrasn0w.com without the . in between repo666 and ultra...now all my packages are gone! what do i do for it? i have no sources. nth. what should i do?
please help ASAP!

to anyone getting stuck at the "waiting to reboot", check that you have the correct file... in my case, i have a first gen iphone... and the file that comes here is for the 3G.
Go to the How To section on this site and the link for the first gen is there.
Goodluck!
and Dev Team... you are AWESOME!

I also got the "sub-process biz2 returned and error code (2)", but clicked OK, and the process went ahead, and now it's at the bvery last stage "Updating Sources" and "downloading Packages", but it's not finishing!!! Alo most 95% done, but it;s just hanging!! Please, can someone tel me what to do??

When i get to the dhu bit i press all the buttons that all works but then i just get a white screen and it says waiting for reboot. i waited for twenty minutes reset it and tried again still the same problem any help would be greatly appreciated
James

Hi guys i really need your advice:
i recently borrowed my girlfriends iphone 2G. it was unlocked and jailbroken and running on frameware 2.2. however while using it the screen froze on me, so being a smart ass i decided to restore the phone thinking that might fix the issue.
now after restore the phone gives a message saying "NO SIM CARD INSTALLED, Insert a valid SIM with no pinlock to activate IPHONE" now i dont know how to get it working?
any advice would be greatly appreciated.
initially the phone was jailbroken using Quickfreedom.

Can anyone help me plz?
Yesterday I refresh my iphone through jailbreak and it's done but after that my Card is still not accepting it shows "NO SERVICE" does anyone has idea about this?
I have done all the steps as mentioned above except below two:
1. Add the repo repo666.ultrasn0w.com to Cydia or Icy. That last “o” is actually the number zero “0”.
2. Search for ‘ultrasn0w’ in cydia or icy and install ultrasn0w.
Does it require ?

Hey, I was just wondering do you lose ANY data while jailbreaking? Like Apps, music, and photos and stuff. Because for some reason my gay phone cannot back up.. and i really don't feel like getting all my apps back and stuff.
Thanks in advance.

Hey guys,
I just jailbroken/unlocked my iphone 3g using redsnow 0.8... Everything works fine exept for the fact that I loose internet connection using Wi-Fi...
Sometimes il also doesnt allow me to connect to my wifi either...Sometimes it doesnt even show the network under choose a Network.
If anyone could help i would really appreciate it.
Thank you

Just Jailbroke my iPhone 3G, 16GB, ver3.00, for the first time using Redsn0w8-win_.08, only ticked Cydia, using Windows 7. Install was smooth and problem free, about 15 mins.
Works brilliantly. Love all the extra options that are now possible.
Just a work around for a problem I encountered.
Problem: Whenever i would use 3G internet (not WiFi) and try to use an app that requres internet (Safari, weather, etc) it would error saying 'no internet connection' or similar depending on the app running.
Fix: enable (make green) BOTH 3G AND edge. I had edge turned off, 3G on, and the internet connection did not work.
If its your first time jailbreaking, just do it. It is definately soooo worth it.
All that happens is the iPhone's OS is updated & changed. When that has been done you just 'restore' your latest backup and all you sms's, emails, apps, including the stuff saved within apps will be restored. Cant quite remember if songs are restored, but the play lists are still in iTunes, another sync + time & theyre back.
Just do it.

help please. i've jailbroken twice using redsn0w, the first time I installed both Cydia and Icy and had problems with Cydia not knowing what version it was. So I restored my iPhone and jailbroke again, this time only installung Cydia. When I go into Cydia, it says I need to installed updates/upgrades, however when I do this I get a "Cached error", "bad url saurik". I can add the source for ultrasn0w, but when I try to install I keep getting an error right at the end.
Any ideas?
